Previously, this failed to work properly because any additional input
the user entered would have no 'field' property, confusing
'eshell-get-old-input'. To fix this, we simply ensure that any
user-entered text in the output field retains said output field
(bug#61310).

'eshell--mark-as-output'.
(eshell-get-old-input): Remove properties from the returned string
just to be safe.

(em-prompt-test/field-properties)

This makes Eshell work more like 'M-x shell', and lets the <home> key
